Who we are

idataraya is a Malaysian software company. We design, build and then operate the systems our clients run their organisations on, across payments, healthcare, retail, property and the public sector.

The engineers who design and build a system are the ones who keep it running afterwards. That is the shape of the whole company, and it is why the roles here look the way they do.

The team

Design. Interfaces for the people who use these systems all day, not for a showreel.

About the role

A scoped placement on a live product, with a mentor and work that ships. You will design something that people then use.

What you will do

  • Work on a defined design problem with a named mentor.
  • Take part in reviews and research sessions.
  • See your work built and shipped.
  • Learn the constraints of designing for operational software.

What you will bring

  • Currently studying design, or building a portfolio of your own.
  • Some work you can walk us through, including what you would change.
  • Interest in usability over decoration.
  • Availability for a continuous block.

What we offer

  • Ownership of real systems from the first architecture session through to live operation, rather than a slice of someone else's design.
  • Direct contact with the people using what you build, with no account layer in between.
  • Work delivered in two to four week increments, demonstrated and accepted before the next one starts.
  • More than twenty production engines underneath the client systems, so the same problem is rarely solved twice.

We consider every applicant on what they have built and how they work. Tell us about your experience in your own words, and we will come back to you either way.
